I have not made brats yet even though they are a favorite. Did you make an emulsified forcemeat? A little intimidating to do...

I don't think I did the emulsified forcemeat thing. I ground through the medimum plate , made a slurry of the spices and water, and mixed by hand for about 5 minutes. I ended up adding about a cup and a half of water during the mixing until it "looked right".

Blanched for about 10 minutes before frying in olive oil.
